Thriving Gardens Intermediate Package includes:

• A one time on-site consultation to determine garden size and location of garden in your yard.
• Customized garden plans, including square footage, planting dates, crops grown, and estimated harvest dates.
• All seeds and transplants, planted by us.
• Custom drip-line irrigation system installation.
• Our staff will plant your garden.
• We will fertilize your garden twice throughout the season with compost tea or other organic methods depending on garden needs
• Receive 1 hour on-site consultations each month from May to September.

Your contribution supports the labor needed to tend to one senior’s garden in our Back-Farms Program! 

Please note that for the intermediate package, we do NOT install a garden or prepare the soil for planting. We can advise on the best location in your yard to do so and explain the preparation methods that we use. 

For the intermediate package, we will plant the seeds and transplant the starts for you. The garden bed must be thoroughly prepared prior to our planting. Planting occurs between mid-May and mid-June.

We specialize in vegetable garden drip irrigation systems. The intermediate package includes a custom drip irrigation system installation. This drip system is only intended for the vegetable garden, and will not be expanded by us to other landscaping within your yard. We will provide all parts and installation of the drip system. You are responsible for upkeep and maintenance, as well as for utilizing it to water your garden.
